BACKGROUND External skeletal fixator systems are used on fractured bones or joints during osteosynthesis typically for more serious injuries involving multiple or compound fractures. Pins are drilled through a patient's skin and into a fractured bone. Clamps secure the pins to a common connecting rod, creating a rigid frame that immobilizes the bone.
PROBLEMS The current invention available are using multiple components. This will cause the invention requires high precision during fabrication to prevent misalignment or poor fit of the components, which would lead to product failure. The need to fit and tighten the multiple components also makes the invention unsuitable for field use or emergency situations where a quick fitting of the external fixator is required.
OBJECTIVE To Develop Low Cost Hinged External Fixation Systems
POTENTIAL MARKET Hospitals with collaboration
with orthopedic surgeons. Global market are huge.
Competitor with existing products
NOVELTIES Positioning a bone and securing the
relative positions of the bone fixation element fixation against displacement resulting from movement or external forces.
Allows for multi-axial positioning and orientation of bone fixation elements.
ADVANTAGES Able to be used with different type orthopaedic external fixator. Lightweight clamp assembly suitable for field use, particularly in
emergency rescue situations. Having minimal parts of simple construction to avoid the need
for multiple and complicated components.
